A study conducted in 2013 estimates that thousands of people per year disappear in Colombia due too human trafficking. That’s a staggering number of people that go missing every fiscal year. Officials are doing everything they can to make sure those people are rescued. Cartels all across the world, including the Colombian Cartel, are playing a key role in the global tragedy otherwise known as “modern-day slavery.” No matter how morbid it sounds, trafficking humans is big business.
